Blackstone just noped out of the TikTok US deal 👋—right when President Trump says he’s “pretty much” sealed the deal with China. 🤝 Xi-$TRUMP meetup soon? Maybe.
Trump’s third exec order gave ByteDance until Sept 17 to sell or get banned 🚫. The deal was hot—Blackstone, a16z, Oracle, all in. But now? Just vibes and delays.
Meanwhile, US-China trade tensions are flaring again 🔥. Some say TikTok is just the token in this chess game.
So… TikTok ban = more DeFi adoption? 👀 Time to own your data, your platform,it $$.
